Shiny Nails

Well I went to this place for a mani & pedi. It had to be the worst mani and pedi i’ve ever had. Sloppy with nail polish everywhere. I went on a slow day and had to wait a very long time just to be seated. Once I did get seated for my pedicure the lady did a rush job on my damn feet. It looked like someone did my toes with a blind fold on. Polish was everywhere It was terrible!!! My feet looked no different from when I walked in besides a polish change. When she finished doing my feet she started on my finger nails and it was the same story as my pedicure but much worser because i cant hide my hands!!! On top of the attitude she gave me every time i pointed out a error. I will never be back to this place i wish 1 star wasnt even an option because they deserve 0 stars !!! P. S. just a heads up dont even think about getting your eyebrows waxed from here !

Worst gel manicure ever. I have polish all over fingers and it doesn’t look professional. 30 dollars wasted.

This was the first nail place I went to when I moved to The Lakeview area. The store was clean and the prices are fair. They were the same prices as the places in Monroe and Oxford where I’ve also lived. I expected them to be pricier since it’s a bigger city. They exfoliate, massage, then massage with stones, and then wrap your legs with hot towels. They also didn’t speed through the pedicure like many salons do. I appreciated that greatly. Will defiantly be back

Great place for a pedicure! Last time I came the lady let me know the color I picked which was like a glittery pink would show up very light and she told me to go look again to find something darker. She applied the dark color and then the glittery color and it turned out very good. She was very helpful! The hot rocks they use to massage your legs is a also great touch. I usually never have to wait real long either. I haven’t gotten a mani yet so I don’t know how well they do for those but they do great pedicures and they last a good month! They also have the relaxing massage chairs which I love!

I had a pedicure here today. I am trying to test out different locations now that I have a little spending money to start getting them done on a more regular basis again.
I was immediately helped when walking in. The gals were all friendly and very helpful. They also didn’t spend a lot of time chatting with each other (that always freaks me out a little, and I usually can’t help wondering if they are talking about me), and were very good. The hot rock massage on my lower legs and feet was a nice touch.

I’ve had really bad nail experiences recently in the area, so when I first walked in, I was ready to be disappointed, but they took me by surprise!
They weren’t busy so they sat my sister and I down right away. She was getting gels and I was getting acrylics. The staff were friendly without being overbearing. They worked quickly too — we were both finished in less than an hour.
It’s three weeks later and my acrylics aren’t lifting or cracking at all. That’s the first time I’ve had that happen! I’m still getting compliments on them. I’m going back in today to file them down and change the polish. Everyone has their favorite nail shop that they’re loyal to and this one may have just become mine.
The only reason I’m giving them 4 instead of 5 is that they didn’t have the color my sister wanted and they replaced it with a color that she wasn’t happy with. Other than that, excellent experience overall.

I stopped here for the first time (anytime fitness). I was pleasantly surprised with the staffs professional & efficiency. The staff was polite & didn’t ask me any questions. Most of the time, nail techs can be annoying, by asking personal questions, but not here. They are there to execute a service, & for me that’s a big plus. I liked the lady who did my nails. She pampered me to the fullest. With that being said, i would recommend this place to anyone. Oh, & when i walked in they immediately began service on me…

Love this place! Never have to wait. I am 7 months pregnant and the girl spent extra time massaging my poor feet and bonus got a hot stone massage on my feet.

i visited this location with a friend. very reasonable prices but i did not have a good experience. the women doing my nails was okay but she cut me twice and was very unapologetic. 7 hours later my nail bed is swollen. Hopefully it will go down. would not recommend.

I went to Shiny Nails last Saturday for a mani/​pedi and they did a pretty good job.
I got my nails polished with regular polish instead of Gel polish and I must say that my nails are holding up well and they’re not even a week old. I wash my hands at least 8 times a day at work in addition to my morning and evening cleaning routines at home (with no gloves) and my nails have not chipped. I’m pleased!

I have gone here several times and it is usually ok. Last time I went in they were busy so the lady that I think owns the place had to do me. She usually greets people and is on her cell phone while everyone else is working. Anyway, I have never had a worse pedicure and manicure. I seriously think my 10 year old son could have done a better job! I had paint all over my hands and feet. She didn’t try to keep it neat at all. I have not been back since, and if I do go I will make sure I don’t get her!

This was my worst manicure experience to date! After leaving one store because of the 45 minute wait, my friend convinced me to try Shiny nails even though I’d been avoiding them because of a prior bad experience. She was having a regular mani-​pedi and I was going to have a gel manicure.
The store was crowded! There were at least eight women being helped. We decided to wait anyway because we didn’t feel like finding another place. After about 10 minutes of waiting my friend was called to have her pedicure started. About 5 minutes later the owner started soaking my nails in acetone and (scalding!) hot water to remove the previous coat of shellac polish.
I sat there for 30 minutes being completely ignored! I watched five women who had come in after me have manicures and leave! I mentioned to the women I had been sitting there a long time so she begrudgingly came over to start scraping the polish off of my nails. By this point most of the acetone had evaporated from the bowl and the water was ice cold. I had been sitting so long that my nails were curling in on themselves (which I pointed out and she quickly came up with some excuse)! She got frustrated and refilled the bowl with hot water and asked me to dip my nails back into the acetone. This lasted ANOTHER 15 minutes. By this point my friend had already received her mani-​pedi and was waiting on me. Other employees were walking by and accepting other customers. I kept thinking «Why isn’t the owner asking someone else to take over my manicure?»
After she had finished yet another woman’s nails, she finally started on mine. She was going so fast that while trimming my cuticle she took a large chunk out of my finger that would not stop bleeding. She tried to ignore it until the blood started to drip on the counter! At this point an elderly woman came into the store, obviously a regular, complaining that her nail had broken and wanted it fixed. My manicurist, the owner, agreed to fix her acrylic and change the polish. She was trying to go so quickly while filing that she left jagged edges that have since ripped and torn off parts of my nail. She rotated back and forth between painting my nails and fixing the other customer’s. The paint job was TERRIBLE! It had thick clumps and ran past my nails in several places on to my skin. She kept saying «isn’t this pretty?». I couldn’t believe she was trying to make me think she had done a good job!
THEN she charged me the full $ 30! I couldn’t believe it! I was so taken aback that I paid her and left immediately. I should have demanded a refund!
Shellac (or gel) manicures are supposed to stay chip-​free for at least 14 days, which has proven to be true on other occasions for me but only five days later, as I type this, the paint has already completely pealed off two nails, five are chipped, three are broken, and my cuticle is still healing.
I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!

Slow and unfriendly workers. Everyone working (besides one girl) looked miserable and made me feel miserable!

Clean, friendly, fast, affordable.
